Well you can just rock me to sleep tonight....

Spiders.  Big, hairy, spiders and not a flamethrower in sight.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Which is why there are cans of WD-40, brake/carb cleaner, and other such flourocarbon-propelled products kept with mini lighters rubber banded to them.  Spiders and the Zombie Apocolypse - be prepared for either.

stay safe.

When I was a teen, working at a restaurant as a dishwasher, we'd take cans of Lysol, light the spray, and write our names on the wall in flames.

We were pretty stupid.

When I was a kid one of our chores was the take the trash down to the burn barrel and burn it.  We had to stick around to make sure if didn't spread.  We used to find all the aerosol cans and place them so they would explode.  Much fun.  Most of them just jetted fire out the end, but some made a decent bang.  I think best bang I ever saw was a tennis ball that blew and made a perfect little mushroom cloud.

The best fun was shoving plastic milk jugs on a stick, lighting them, and bombing ant beds with molten plastic droplets.  Those hurt by the way.

Either way, my brother and I were never tempted to play with matches in the house.   =D

Tarantulas never bothered me, for some reason.  Maybe it's because they're too furry to look menacing (and the fact that none of them are actually dangerous to humans).

It's the ones that are shaped more like black widows that freak me out.

Eh, reminds me, I need to get back to work on designing and building a flamethrower for Strings' niece.

If it makes you feel any better I don't think any of those spiders pose any threat to you. Aside from a possible infection from a bite.

Ditto.  My grandfather had a brick incinerator by the garden.  I spent many happy hours there fine-tuning my pyro skills.

I'd have to vote for golf balls.  When the hide burns through and that compacted "rubber band" core unwinds....  Do not be in the line of fire!

I don't have a thing against spiders, but if I had a guess from the reaction of the folks here who do...  .50 BMG, in high concentration of fire.

If there's anything left that can cause a .50 BMG to bounce back, you're not using enough rounds on target.
